Is the Globalport's Import better than Draymond Green?

There is a huge difference between confidence and arrogance. Did Murphy Holloway crossed the line?

These were his statements to Spin.ph when asked about what he brings to the neon army. 

“The closest (comparison) – but I think he shoots better than me – would probably be Draymond Green with the way I rebound, go coast to coast, and can pass."



“I’m better than Draymond... He just got a chance (in the NBA). I didn’t get the chance.”

His first game in the PBA against Phoenix said a lot. He finished 29 points, 26 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. 

Yes, he can also fill the stat-sheets like Draymond. His comment about his shooting was also on point. He managed to make two out of his seven three-point attempts. 

Offensive versatility was not the lone trump card of Draymond. He was also versatile on defense, maybe the most versatile in the world.

Did Holloway also showed that?

Number-wise, it was satisfying. Phelps, who is a great scorer, managed 28 points in 12/28 shooting. 

How about looking back on his last International stint which was on Israel. In 30.0 minutes of playing time, his production was not that Greeny. He posted 15.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.8 block and 54.5% FG.

The stat sheet was fully dented but without the shooting and high assist numbers, it is hard to compare him to the very unique, Draymond.
